2.PRESENTATION OF THE GROUP
General Presentation
Median Technologies specializes in the field of medical imaging. The company develops software applications for the interpretation and management of medical images, whose purpose is to automatically detect and quantitatively measure abnormalities that may be signs of diseases.
Imaging is key in numerous medical areas where it is used to by heath care providers to screen, diagnose and tract the progress of many diseases. Today, medical imaging makes it possible to evaluate whether a treatment is effective or not for a given patient, particularly for those suffering from cancer. This is the therapeutic area in which Median Technologies is mainly positioned.
In addition to being involved in patient care applications, Median Technologies' software is used today used by biotechnology companies and pharmaceutical companies during their oncology clinical trials.
This clinical trials market is the principal basis of development in terms of the Group's revenues. Today, the company is leveraging its knowledge of the science of and the technology associated with imaging by developing a groundbreaking platform in imaging phenomics.
This platform makes it possible to identify within the image the signatures that are specific to diseases, the knowledge of which will make it possible to move in the direction of more and more individualized medicine.
The activity of Median Technologies is therefore structured around three strategic areas:
• Imaging for patients with cancer: Median's applications make it possible for radiologists and oncologists to evaluate the effectiveness of treatments that are given to patients based on quantitative measurements in medical images.
• Imaging for oncology clinical trials: In this context, Median Technologies works with biotechnology and pharmaceutical companies. The software applications and imaging services that Median develops around these applications help its customers develop new innovative and personalized drug/biologic treatments for patients, as well as assist in defining appropriate therapeutic strategies.
• Imaging Phenomics: this is the most innovative area of the company's activities, today. Median Technologies is developing the iBiopsy® imaging platform, which led to the signing of a partnership agreement with Microsoft in June 2016 for the Big Data portion. Imaging Phenomics will be at the heart of individualized medicine, which is the medicine of the future. Indeed, we know today that each kind of disease has its own specific "signature", which may be extracted from medical images using powerful algorithms, which when correlated to Big Data make it possible to identify the exact kind of disease and identify the treatment that will be the most effective for a given patient. Imaging phenomics opens an enormous world of possibilities for the pharmaceutical industry as well as for health professionals.
Today, the Median Technologies team includes a little more than 100 colleagues of whom a large part is dedicated to Research and Development activities and Services. Multidisciplinary, these teams include scientists and engineers specializing in the processing of images, data management, project management and clinical development regulations.
Since its inception, Median Technologies has been headquartered in the south of France, in the technology park of Sophia Antipolis, an environment that is particularly favorable to health industries.
Having the strategic goal of strong international development, the company is also present in the United States through its subsidiary Median Technologies Inc.
History of the company
2002 - Median Technologies is founded in Sophia Antipolis, France. Up until 2007, Median enriches its technology, particularly by collaborating with technological and scientific institutes in medical imaging.
2007 – All the software developed by the company is integrated into a portfolio of LMS (Lesion Management Solution) clinical applications. LMS applications are first marketed in Europe and then in the U.S., following regulatory clearance from the FDA.
2011 - This is a pivotal year for Median. The company implements a new set of services specifically designed for the management of medical images during oncology clinical trials: Clinical Services are based on the technological heart of the LMS applications.
The Company's shares are admitted for trading on the Paris NYSE Alternext market, based on the principle of direct listing with a reference price of €8.05 per share.
2014 - Thirteen foreign institutional investors led by New Enterprise Associates (NEA), subscribe for an amount of €20m, 2,222,222 new shares for a subscription price of €9, as part of a capital increase by means of a private offering.
2015 - Seven foreign institutional investors led by New Enterprise Associates (NEA), subscribe for an amount of €19.8M, 1,650,000 new shares for a subscription price of €12 each, as part of a capital increase by means of a private offering.
2016 - Sees the start of R&D activity regarding imaging phenomics and Big Data. The project was named iBiopsy® and is the subject of a partnership with Microsoft France. The applications linked to imaging phenomics are eventually going to serve both markets in which Median is positioned, that of imaging in clinical trials and that of patient care. The rebranding of the company carried out during 2016 led to the importance of imaging phenomics in the positioning of Median in its markets. In addition to changing its logo and completely overhauling its communication tools, Median Technologies chose as its tagline, "The Imaging Phenomics Company™".
2016 - Median Technologies issues a capital increase in favor of Furui Medical Company Luxembourg in the amount of 1,507,692 new shares for a subscription price of €13 each, for a total amount of €19.6M. This reserved capital increase is mainly going to make it possible for Median Technologies to develop new marketing opportunities for its products in China and Eastern Asia.
2016 is also a pivotal year in terms of structuring the US subsidiary Median Technologies Inc. based in Woburn, MA. The year also sees major recruitments:
- Ms. Jeanne Hecht, Chief Operating Officer of Median Technologies, who is responsible for defining and implementing the company's global strategy.
- Mr. Nicholas Campbell, Chief Commercial Officer, responsible for all business development and marketing activities and their implementation for the entire company.

3.HALF-YEAR ACTIVITY REPORT
Ordinary activities during the first half of 2017
Activities of the Group
Median Technologies H1 2017 revenue stood at €3.9 million, up 36% compared with H1 2016, due to the implementation of strategic and sales partnerships in clinical trials.
During H1, Median strengthened its medical, sales, R&D and management teams in France, the United States and Asia. The company is now sized to meet future growth.
The Company thus recruited several managers, notably reinforcing the US-based teams (+17 people). Overall, as of June 30, 2017, the Group's average workforce stood at 100 employees, compared with 76 a year earlier.
Median also opened a subsidiary in Hong Kong that will allow the company to directly grasp the Asian markets and oversee all the operations carried out in the region for clinical trials, as well as to develop new opportunities in the field of patient care.
Finally, Median continued its R&D investments for iBiopsy®, its imaging platform combining artificial Intelligence (AI) and deep learning to develop new solutions which will allow breakthrough and innovative discoveries for personalized medicine in partnership with Microsoft.
Taking these factors into account, an analysis of the half-year results points to:
- Increases in personnel costs related to the structuring of the company and its international redeployment (US and Asia);
- An increase of external costs including:
Exceptional expenses due to the implementation of new tools to improve project management as well as to increase the company technical and operational productivity (CTMS / ERP / CRM ...);
Audit and consulting expenses to optimise the company internal organisation and make it aligned with the different standards the company should comply;
Scientific study and research expenses for the roll-out of the new iBiopsy® platform and for the modernization of Median legacy platform Lesion Management Solution (LMS).
In the end, operating income for the first half of 2017 amounted to €-8,702 K, compared to a loss of €-3,634 K € in the first half of 2016. This increase is the consequence of the structuring initiated by the company but also of its deployment to new activities.
Net income for the first half of 2017 amounted to € 8,884 K thousand compared to €3,657 K thousand for the first half of 2016.
At June 30, 2017, Median Technologies had a solid balance sheet with a cash position of €35.4 million and no financial debt. Shareholders' equity stood at €31.5 million following the reserved capital increase in favour of FURUI for €19.6 million in December 2016.

The Extraordinary General Meeting on the date of June 22, 2017 authorized the board of directors to agree to options giving the right to subscribe to ordinary Company shares to be issued (hereinafter the "stock options").
The option plan that was adopted by the board of directors on the date of June 26, 2017 is presented on page 23 of this report.
FUTURE PROSPECTS
The Company's order book amounted to € 17.8 million at June 30, 2017, compared with € 16 million at December 31, 2016. This relates to clinical trials, which the pharmaceutical companies entrust to us in the imaging segment. The latter is progressing over the period as the group increases the delivery of its services.
Median's teams are continuing their work of updating their medical imaging solutions and should in the coming months launch a new iBiopsy® platform in different oncology research protocols applied to the lung, prostate or liver.
In patient care, Median pursues its very strong collaboration with FURUI, its Chinese investor and partner and works with key opinion leaders at developing partnerships that will allow the company to prepare future participation in major programs for lung cancer screening and diagnosis as well as the introduction of new products on the Chinese market.
Finally, the company is continuing its structuring to enter a phase of acceleration for an introduction to the Nasdaq.

PRESENTATION OF THE ACTIVITY AND MAJOR EVENTS
1 – INFORMATION CONCERNING THE COMPANY AND ITS ACTIVITY
MEDIAN Technologies ("the Company") is a corporation having a board of directors founded in 2002 and domiciled in France. The Company's headquarters are located at Les Deux Arcs - 1800 route des Crêtes – 06560 Valbonne.
The main areas of activity for the Company and its subsidiary (together designated as "the Group") are the publishing of software and providing of services in the area of medical imaging in oncology. The Group develops and markets software solutions and offers services optimizing use of medical images for the diagnosis and follow-u of cancer patients.
The Company has been listed on the Paris ALTERNEXT market since 2011.
Accounting principles, Evaluation methods, IFRS options applied
1 – PRINCIPLES FOR PREPARATION OF THE SUMMARY INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The Group's consolidated financial statements are drawn up on a voluntary basis in accordance with the IFRS referentiel (International Financial Reporting Standards) as adopted by the European Union, which is available on the European Commission Internet site:
(http://ec.europa.eu/internal_market/accounting/ias/index_fr.htm)
These interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 "Interim financial information" as adopted by the European Union. They do not include all information necessary for a complete set of the financial statements according to the IFRS. However, they include a selection of notes explaining the significant events and operations in view of grasping the changes occurring in the Group's financial situation and performance since the last consolidated annual financial statements for the financial year ended December 31, 2016.
The euro was used as the currency for presentation of the Group. Unless there is an indication to the contrary, the summary interim financial statements are presented in thousands of euros, with all values being rounded off to the nearest thousandth.
By nature, the Group activity is not of a seasonal nature.
These half-year consolidated financial statements were drawn up under the responsibility of the Board of Directors meeting of October 5, 2017.
Page | - 16 -
2 – ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES AND METHODS
The accounting methods applied in the summary interim financial statements are identical to those used by the Group in the consolidated financial statements based on the IFRS for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2016, with the exception of any standards, amendments and interpretations applicable to the Group for the first time at January 1, 2017:
Principal standards, amendments and interpretations of mandatory application as of January 1, 2017
- Amendment to IAS 7 Initiative concerning to information to be furnished;
- Amendment to ISA 12 Accounting for assets with deferred taxes in connection with unrealized losses;
- Annual improvements of the IFRS Cycle (2014-2016) amendments to IFRS 12.
The Group considers that the first apply of these standards should not have a significant impact on its results and financial situation.
Principal standards, amendments and interpretations published by the IASB applicable in advance as of January 1, 2017 in the European Union.
The Group did not apply these standards, amendments and interpretations in advance in the consolidated financial statements at June 30, 2017.
- IFRS 9 Financial instruments;
- IFRS 15 Income from ordinary activities derived from contracts entered into with customers;
- Annual improvements 2014-2016;
- IFRIC 22 "Transactions in foreign currency and anticipated compensation";
- IFRIC 23 Uncertainties regarding income tax.
Concerning IFRS 15:
The European Union adopted the standard on September 22, 2016. IFRS 15 constitutes the frame of reference making it possible to determine whether revenues are to be accounted for, for what amount and when they must be. It replaces the existing provisions on accounting for revenue, particularly IAS 18 "Proceeds from ordinary activities" and IAS 11 "Construction contracts".
IFRS 15 will be in effect for the fiscal year starting on January 1, 2018.
In connection with application of the new standard IFRS 15, the Group launched a detailed analysis of the potential impacts of the standard on the revenues generated by transactions and contracts for the clinical trials activity. The first conclusions on the basis of an advance diagnosis are given below. They could be brought to progress or change according to the detailed analysis results underway.
As part of a clinical trials project, the main promise made by the group is to furnish a centralized medical imaging service that includes the preliminary project feasibility study and collection, processing, review, transmission and storage of the medical imagery data in connection with the phase I, II and III of the clinical trials.
The Group continues its reflection pertaining to the detailed analysis in progress, so as to determine whether this promise is a unique performance obligation or whether it includes other multiple elements. The group has not yet decided on the transitional method to be applied.
Page | - 17 -
During the second half of 2017, the Group will proceed with finalization of the qualitative and quantitative analyses, as well as calculation of the impacts linked to application of this standard (number of performance obligations, date of transfer of control, lag in recognition of the revenues, presentation and communication of information in the Financial Statements). It will communicate the results of this study in the consolidated financial statements for the period ended December 31, 2017.
Concerning IFRS 9:
On July 21, 2014, the IASB finalized its plan to replace IAS 39 on financial instruments by publishing the full version of IFRS 9. The latter introduces significant changes from the current IAS 39 standard:
- The provisions for the classification and measurement of financial assets will now be based on a joint analysis of the management model for each asset portfolio and the contractual characteristics of the financial assets;
- The model of depreciation has, for its part, abandoned the current approach based on proven losses in favor of an approach oriented to the expected losses;
- The hedging section includes many significant advances in favor of a reconciliation between accounting and risk management policies.
The Group does not expect any significant change in the classification and measurement of financial assets given the nature of its operations.
IFRS 9 will be effective for fiscal years beginning on or after January 1, 2018.
Principal standards, amendments and interpretations published by the IASB applicable in advance at January 1, 2017 in the European Union.
In 2017, the principal standards published but not required to be applied and not yet approved by the European Union are:
- IFRS 16 Leasing agreements;
- Amendments to IFRS 15 Clarifications;
- Amendments to IFRS 2 Classifications and valuation of share based transactions.
The impact on the consolidated financial statements of these standards, amendments and interpretations published by the IASB and not yet adopted by the European Union is being assessed by Management.
3 – USE OF JUDGMENTS AND ESTIMATES
So as to prepare the interim financial statements in accordance with the IFRS, estimates, judgments and assumptions have been made by the Group. They could affect the amounts submitted for asset and liability items, the liabilities possible on the date the financial statements were drawn up and the amounts shown for financial year income and expenses.
The significant judgments exercised by Management so as to apply the Group's accounting methods and the principal sources of uncertainty concerning estimates are identical to those having affected the consolidated financial statements of the fiscal year ended December 31, 2016.
4 – CONSOLIDATION PRINCIPLES AND METHODS
The company Median Technologies Hong Kong Limited was founded on April 13, 2017, so as to permit future implementation of the company's activities in Asia. The company plans soon to intensify its efforts in this region of the World in which development of the company is key today.
This company is wholly owned by Median Technologies SA and therefore comes within the consolidation scope of June 30, 2017.

2 – EQUITY
In connection with the liquidity contract put in place following the listing on the stock market, the company has held treasury shares and realizes capital gains or losses on transfers and buybacks of these shares. These shares as well as the effect of capital gains and losses realized on the transfer and buyback of these treasury shares are carried by decreasing consolidated reserves.
As of December 31, 2016, the impact of the cancellation of 13,807 of its treasury shares, decreasing the consolidated reserves, came to the amount of -€90K. The amount deducted from the reserve of treasury shares takes into account the value of the shares as well as the gains or losses realized from the fluctuations affecting these treasury shares.

PERSONNEL COMMITMENTS
1 – DEFINED RETIREMENT BENEFITS
Personnel commitments will be composed exclusively benefits subsequent to employment. In France, the Company contributes to the national pension plan and its commitments to employees in terms of pension are limited to a onetime benefit based on seniority and paid when the employee reaches retirement age. This retirement benefit is determined for each employee based on his seniority and his last expected salary. A provision has been recorded for this obligation under the defined benefits plan.
The Company does not have any asset covering the defined benefit plans.

The amounts recorded in the balance sheet for the defined benefits commitments are the following:
| Employee benefits (In thousands of euros) |
6/30/2017 | 12/31/2016 | Variation |
|---|---|---|---|
| Provision for employee benefits | 370 | 467 | (97) |
| Total | 370 | 467 | (97) |
a) Changes in provisions existing in the balance sheet
The changes in these commitments may be analyzed as follows:
| Employee benefits (In thousands of euros) |
6/30/2017 | 12/31/2016 |
|---|---|---|
| Opening provision | 467 | 367 |
| Current service cost | (75) | 54 |
| Cost of interest | 3 | 7 |
| Charge in the year | (72) | 61 |
| Benefits paid | - | - |
| Net actuarial (gains) / losses | (25) | 39 |
| Closing provision | 370 | 467 |
b) Actuarial assumptions
The main actuarial assumptions are the following:
| Employee benefits (Actuarial assumptions) |
06/30/2017 | 12/31/2016 |
|---|---|---|
| Discount rate | 1.67% | 1.30% |
| Inflation rate | 2.00% | 2.00% |
| Salary increase rate | 0.50% | 0.50% |
| Social security costs | 46% | 46% |
| INSEE T68-FM | INSEE T68-FM | |
| Mortality table | 2008-2010 | 2008-2010 |
| Between 62 and | between 62 and | |
| Retirement ages | 67 years | 67 years |
| Voluntary | Voluntary | |
| Basis of retirement | retirement | retirement |
An analysis of the sensitivities was carried out for this system and on the key assumption of the discount rate. A change in this rate applied to the financial year considered for this system would have the following impact for the gross commitment of the Group under the defined benefit pension plan.
| Sensitivity to the discount rate (In thousands of euros) |
6/30/2017 |
|---|---|
| Actuarial debt at 1,17% | 414 |
| Actuarial debt at 1,67% | 370 |
| Actuarial debt at 2,17% | 331 |
| Estimation duration (years) | 23 |

2 – PENSIONS HAVING DEFINED CONTRIBUTIONS
In the United States, the Median Technology Inc. subsidiary contributes to a defined contribution plan that limit its commitment to the contributions paid. The amount of expenses reported for the first half of 2017 is not significant.
CURRENT PROVISIONS
The current provisions listed in the consolidated balance sheet come to the following amounts:
| Current Provisions (In thousands of euros) |
6/30/2017 | 12/31/2016 | Variation |
|---|---|---|---|
| Current Provisions | 380 | - | 380 |
| Total | 380 | - | 380 |
Changes in provision balances between December 31, 2016 and June 30, 2017 are analyzed as follows:
| Current Provisions (In thousands of euros) |
12/31/2016 | Provisions | Used | recovered | 6/30/2017 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Current Provisions for Risks (1) | 380 | - - |
380 | ||
| Total | - | 380 | - - |
380 |
(1) A provision for litigation in the amount of €380 K was established to cover possible benefits to be paid in connection with company disputes, assessed by Company management and their counsel, based on the elements available to them.
It should be noted that the employer contribution on free shares had a current liability that was recorded under "Current provisions" at December 31, 2016 for an amount of € 228 K.
This contribution falls within the scope of IFRS 2 and its outcome is achieved by remitting cash to French social organizations.
Thus, its nature meets the characteristics of debts to employees and must therefore be recognized and presented under the heading "Trade and Other Payables".
The Group has therefore reclassified the financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2016 as if the debt had been recorded and presented under "Trade and Other Payables " for an amount of € 228 K.
This reclassification has no impact on the Group's results and shareholders' equity at December 31, 2016.

The provision for these advances is fiscally deductible in the company accounts. These advances came to €4,363 K as of June 30, 2017 (€4,438 K as of December 31, 2016).
- (2) As of June 30, 2017, a deferred tax asset for the deficits carried forward of €751 K (€761 K as of December 31, 2016) was observed on the deferred tax liabilities, taking into account, however, the French tax legislation, which caps the charging of deficits carried forward at 50% of taxable profits for the financial year, with this limitation being applicable to the fraction of the profits exceeding 1 million euros. The Group has not selected all of the tax deficits able to be indefinitely carried over in France. The balance of the tax deficits not selected as of June 30, 2017 came to the amount of €67,964 K (€59,754 K as of December 31, 2016).
- (3) Since the deferred tax assets and liabilities were observed for the Company alone, the deferred tax assets and liabilities have been offset.

ACCOUNTS PAYABLE AND OTHER CURRENT LIABILTIES
The breakdown by nature is the following:
| Trade and others payables (In thousands of euros) |
6/30/2017 | 12/31/2016 | Variation |
|---|---|---|---|
| Supplier accounts payable | 1,039 | 966 | 73 |

| Other payables | 66 | 22 | 44 |
| Total | 6,507 | 5,415 | 1,092 |
All of the accounts payable and other debts have a due date of less than one year.
- (1) Social liabilities involve salaries, social security and provisions for paid vacations. The increase in personnel expenses corresponds largely to legal and transactional benefits that may be occurred/legalized during the period.
- Legal and transactional indemnities payable in the context of redundancies during the period for an amount of € 312 thousand. This debt is payable on redundancies and transactions already booked during the period, unlike the liabilities assessed on possible disputes arising during the period and recognized as a current provision.
- A provision for taxes in the amount of €525 K was established following the allocation of bonus shares decided by the Board of Directors meeting of July 22, 2016 for the benefit of French employees. This provision is related to the specific employer contribution, which comes to 20% of the share value on the acquisition date and which is payable on the month following the acquisition date (AGA 2016 A due date: August 2017) The provision is spread out over the acquisition period defined in the plans. This provision was therefore calculated by applying the share price as of 06/30/2017 for the AGA 2016 B for which the acquisition period runs until 07/22/2018 and to 07/22/2017 for the AGA 2016 A, the maturity date of the acquisitions period for this AGA plan.
- (2) Advances received from customers at less than one year correspond to the down payments received upon the signing of the "Clinical Trials" contracts ("initial payment"). The functioning of these advances received is described in note 15 below. As of June 30, 2017, the balance of these advances remained stable in comparison with the balance as of December 31, 2016.

1,086 | 1,126 | (40) |
| Total | 1,086 | 1,126 | (40) |
Other non-current liabilities correspond to the advances received from customers at the start of the contract for the "Clinical Trials" activity. These advances are deducted from the customer invoicing at the same rate as progress in services carried out and recognized as revenues. They will be repaid in the event that the clinical trial ends.
The amount of such advances not discharged as of June 30, 2016 came to €3,686 K. The part of such advances is listed in the heading "Accounts Payable and other current liabilities" and came to €2,599 K (Cf. Note 14 above).

At this time the Group is listed with most of the large world laboratories. Nevertheless, in the first half of 2017, the Group reported that one of its main customers represented more than 42% of revenues through different clinical studies conducted for different sponsors.
As of June 30, 2017, the Company's revenues came to €3,958 K (as opposed to €2,910, during the preceding period, an increase of 36% in revenues over the period. This increase in activity over the first half of 2017 comes to validate the objectives of management, thanks to continuation of contracts in progress and the start of contracts signed with pharmaceutical groups at the end of last year and during the first half of 2017 with in connection with clinical trials.
PERSONNEL EXPENSES
Details of personnel expenses are analyzed as follows:
| Staff costs Notes (In thousands of euros) |

The research tax credit corresponds to a subsidy granted by the State based on charges incurred in connection with research and development efforts.
Expenses incurred by the Group in this area and eligible for the research tax credit correspond essentially to personnel expenses, which explains the deduction of the research tax credit from personnel expenses. Research and Development expenses eligible for the research tax credit came to €1,733 K during the first half of 2017, compared to €1,431 K in the first half of 2016.
The increase in the average staff is explained by the increase in the staff at the Group's American Subsidiary.
SHARE-BASED COMPENSATION PAYMENTS
As of June 30, 2017, the share based payment agreements for the Group still underway were as follows:
- the stock option programs;
- the free share programs; and
- the warrants and BSPCE (stock options for start-ups with tax privileges).
These agreements are all governed by Group equity instruments
The expenses for the period correspond mainly to the programs for awarding free shares and the expense of the stock option program as described in the respective notes below.
1 – STOCK OPTION PROGRAM
The Group put a program in place for awarding free shares, which gives the right to the firm's principal managers and employees to acquire the Company's shares without charge.
On the dates of July 22, 2016 and October 6, 2016 the Board of Directors of the Median Technologies decided to use this delegation of power and awarded free shares to its employees through plans A, B, C and D.
Page | - 31 -
| Plan no. | Grant date | Personnel involved | Number of options |
Vesting conditions | Contractual life of the options |
|
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Plan A | July 22, 2016 | Senior management | 162,523 | 1 year of service | 1 year | |
| Plan B | July 22, 2016 | Senior management | 152,522 | 2 years of service | 1 year | |
| Plan C | October 6, 2016 | Senior management | 186,873 | Variable | Specific | |
| Plan D | October 6, 2016 | Senior management | 186,872 | Variable | Specific | |
| Total | 688,790 |
The main characteristics of these four plans are summarized below:
(*) The number of potential shares to be issued by the Group under plan B was decreased by 10,000 shares following the departure of a senior Executive, who therefore no longer fulfills the conditions for acquisition of the rights. The amount of the expense recognized for the financial year ended December 31, 2016 in the amount of €18 K was reversed was income in favor of a reserve account.
Specificities related to plans C and D: the AGA 2016 C and D were entirely allocated to employees of the American subsidiary Median Technologies Inc. Their acquisition is conditioned to the presence of the beneficiaries and the occurrence of a launching event (listing on the stock market change in control, etc.) before a certain date. In accordance with standard IFRS 2, the expense linked to awarding these free shares was valued based on the fair value of the shares on the date awarded based on the following principal assumptions:
| Plan A | Plan B | Plan C | Plan D | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Share subscription price | 8.99 | 8.99 | 8.48 | 8.48 |
| Dividend rate | 0% | 0% | 0% | 0% |
| Discount for non-transferability | 10% | 10% | 0% | 0% |
| Fair value | 8.09 | 8.09 | 8.48 | 8.48 |
Therefore, the expense recognized for the first half of 2017 for the free shares came to €1,356 K.
New stock option program during the first half of 2017
On June 22, 2017, the group launched a new stock option program for shares that gives Group employees and executives the right to acquire Company shares. This meeting delegated to the board of directors the opportunity to allocate executives and employees of the Median Group a maximum number of 300,000 options.
Under this program, the board of directors meeting of June 26, 2017 awarded 22,500 options, whose characteristics are the following:
| Plan no. | Grant date | Personnel involved | Number of options |
Vesting conditions | Contractual life of the options |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Plan N°4 | June 26, 2017 | Senior management | 22,500 | 4 years of service | 7 years |
| Total | 22,500 |
Therefore, the expense recognized for the first half of 2017 is not significant for the stock options and comesto €0.5K.
The stock options were allocated to employees of the American subsidiary Median Technologies Inc.
Page | - 32 -
The principal assumptions used for determining the expense resulting from share based payments by application of the Black-Scholes model for valuation of the fair value of these options were the following:
| Plan 4 | |
|---|---|
| Price of the underlying on the grant date | 12,40 |
| Stike Price | 13,00 |
| Expected volatility | 40% |
| Maturity | 7 |
| Risk-free return rates | 1,67% |
| Dividend rates | 0% |
| Fair Value of Option | 5,26 |
The expected volatility was assessed taking into account the historic volatility of the share price of a group of comparable listed companies, particularly over the historic period compatible with the expected term.
Former stock option programs
On April 1, 2011 and April 5, 2012, the Group put stock option programs in place that give the firm's principal executives and employees the right to acquire the Company's shares. These two general meetings delegated to the board of directors the opportunity to allocate executives and employees of the Median Group a maximum number of 300,000 options.
| Plan no. | Grant date | Personnel involved | Number of options |
Vesting conditions | Contractual life of the options |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Plan n°1 | December 15, 2011 | Senior management | 60,000 | 3 years of service | 7 years |
| Plan n°2 | July 5, 2012 | employees | 15,000 | 3 years of service | 7 years |
| Plan n°3 | February 5, 2012 | employees | 23,970 | 4 years of service | 7 years |
| Plan n°4 | October 3, 2013 | Senior management | 10,000 | 4 years of service | 7 years |
| Total | 107,970 |
The charge recognized for the first half of 2017 in respect of these stock options amounts to € 1K and that recognized in the first half of 2016 is € 2K.
The fluctuations in free shares occurring during the 2017 period are indicated in Note 9.3.

As of June 30, 2017, external expenses came to €4,190 K in contrast to €2,560 K as of June 30, 2016. This change of €1,630 K in expenses is explained essentially by:
- the increase of €503 K in recourse to subcontracting for the pharmaceutical projects mainly in association with development of the activity;
- the increase of €150 K in leasing costs for the period are related to establishment of new offices in the United States in Woburn for the development of the subsidiary and our activities in the U.S. during May 2016, and also the increase in costs of leasing servers used by the company for its activity;
- The Group had recourse to subcontracted temporary personnel, in France as well as in other countries for its different operating services, so as to meet the increases in activities that affect numerous services;
- The increase of €237 K in professional fees that are mainly due to recruiting during the period as well as fees linked to different inspections and audits of the company;
- The increase in travel costs come within the Group's strategy for pursuing its development in France and other countries. Development of the company followed its course, particularly in Asia during the first half of the year. As a result of very great strengthening of the sales teams toward the end of the 2016 financial year and at the beginning of 2017, expenses associated with travel and missions greatly increased during the period;
- the increase in all of the other external expenses (Insurance, advertising, postal expenses, banking services, etc.), taking into account the Group's very strong development.

Potentially diluting instruments are described in Note 9.3. During the periods presented, the instruments giving a right to the capital on a deferred basis (Founders share warrants, share purchase warrants) are considered as antidiluting as they lead to a reduction in the loss unit. Therefore, the diluted income unit is identical to the base income unit.
